It looks like your device directory is not set up right.
Do the following... 

    dmesg | grep sio

The output should contain something like this;

    sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa
    sio0: type 16550A
    sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
    sio1: type 16550A

If it does then your kernel has found your rs232 ports.  If not you have
deeper problems.  You'll have to reboot and look at the bios settings.

If the above devices were found then do the following:

    ls -l /dev/cua*

This should return a list of configured serial devices.
If nothing shows up you'll need to remake the device files.

    cd /dev
    ./MAKEDEV cua0
    ./MAKEDEV cua1

Then start over with the tip stuff.

HTH
chris
